All Chapters of MY EX-HUSBAND REGRET : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Peace Is A Myth!CLARAIt felt like the control I thought I'd gained was slipping through my fingers and fast. I jumped up from the seat and snatched the brownie Velma was holding on impulse. I couldn't control my urges too. I felt drained of every iota of blood, and my head was wild with thoughts of what was happening and how I'd let it right under my roof."How long has she been bringing these!?" I yelled, startling Velma and Agatha in the process. I felt sorry, but my expression conveyed the exact opposite of that. I didn't know what I was thinking, but only terrible thoughts danced around in my mind. "How many times has my daughter been fed this!?"Agatha startled back. I could see the fear across her eyes, undeniably. "A-all three days you were absent, ma'am!" She cried out softly. "All t-three days. I wanted to inform you, but it continued to skip my mind, and I just- I'm sorry! What do I do? What's the problem, Ms Jenkins?"I ruffled my hair, letting out a tired breath as I par

Mixed Feelings!MIKE Mixed feelings.I wouldn't have thought of myself being in this situation, but then, here I was, looking at Clara as the doctor relayed the news that I couldn't seem to wrap my head around. Clara's story wasn't making sense at all, and I knew there were a lot of potholes, too.Things she wasn't telling me about. I didn't know how to feel."Oh my god!" Clara yelled as she leaped to her feet, eyes wide as though she'd seen a ghost. I could tell she'd been crying since the moment I walked in here. The only thing I understood was that she got into a fight with Lucy .I should have seen this coming. My stomach felt like it had been carved out, completely empty, and I was drained of all emotions. How was I supposed to feel? I might despise Lucy 's guts, but I still wanted to know what happened. Clara pushed past me and stood directly before the doctor."You're joking, right? She's fine, and the child is fine, too, Right?"I'd never heard her yell so loud that it attrac

Even In A Mad World, She's Insane.CLARAHere I was, trying to get myself in jail because I felt like I'd done something so wrong,g only to find out that it was all an act from the very beginning? I could feel the hair at the back of my neck stand when I started to decipher everything and remembered how it played out.How desperate was Lucy for her to have lied like this? If Mike hadn't caught up to her lie. No, if she hadn't confessed, it would have been such a messy situation for me. I stood to my feet. It was the dead of night, for fuck's sake, and I left my daughter on her cold bed. I was supposed to be by Velma's side right now!The anger I felt bubbled up to my throat, and it burned! It painted my cheeks and my ears as I fumed, waiting to storm out of the police station despite everything Beverly was saying to hold me back. I just wanted to grab Lucy by the neck and slam her head against the edge of a table a couple of times; maybe then her brain wouldn't sink closer to its o

Runaway Princess.CLARAShe's gonna die, and I'd be the cause of it. The only thought that rang in my head as I held Lucy 's numb body in my hand and tried to urge her to wake up. The doctors stormed in with Beverly, approaching me as I administered first aid.I'd never been more terrified of a person's madness than I was at this moment, and it dawned on me, as if I didn't know before, that I wasn't even the obstacle between Mike and me. It had been Lucy , always had been her. My eyes were wet with tears when Mike held me up and tried to walk me out of the ward according to the doctor's command.My outfit had a new decoration attached to it. Blood red, literally. So much of it that I wondered what Lucy had left in her. My body vibrated like I would collapse at any time, and the only thing keeping me conscious was Mike 's arms around me. Beverly's speaking echoed in my ears at a distance as if she wasn't standing next to me.The shock was so difficult to process. I couldn't tell whe

Crossing T's And Dotting I's.CLARAThe ride was quiet, tense even, and my head was glued in one position, staring outside the vehicle as the houses blurred by. It seemed like Mike had been an undeniable part of my life for too long. I thought when I got home, I would be able to get him out of my air, but here I was now, in his car.I didn't know what I was supposed to say. I had been judgy and undeniably mean to him, especially about Lucy . No, about everything, and I knew why I continuously did that. I just wanted to push him away, irk him, and show him all of the ugliest parts of me so he could get sick of it and go away!That didn't seem to be happening anytime soon, and the guilt I felt was only amplified. However does one get over this? Jeez. I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes; he even looked good from the side, focused on the road. The silence was so thick that I felt it in my chest.Felt it deep inside my heart like an ice-formed dagger and it was slowly pressing in.
